Abed M. Hammoud has kindly created source and binary rpm's on his RH-7.1 system for PLplot 5.0.3. These rpms can be downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2915&release_id=35438/plplot-5.0.3-4.src.rpm and http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2915&release_id=35438/plplot-5.0.3-4.i386.rpm. (To access the RH 6.2 versions that have been available at sourceforge for some time substitute plplot-5.0.3-1 for plplot-5.0.3-4 in the above names). Unlike the RH 6.2 rpm's which are necessarily limited due to old versions of Tcl and other packages on RH 6.2 which we do not support, the RH 7.1 rpm's correspond (with two exceptions) to a full double-precision configuration of PLplot 5.0.3. Thus, along with virtually everything else you expect in PLplot, the new rpm's include the Tcl/Tk, python, c++, and fortran front ends; the new gnome (experimental) driver; the new png and jpeg drivers; and the new documentation in a variety of forms. The exceptions to the full configuration are the itcl part of Tcl/Tk front end and the octave front end. Our tests have included Abed using the plplot-test.sh script to create psc, png, and jpeg files on his system corresponding to all the examples. That is a pretty comprehensive test that everything configured is built okay, but since we are both relatively inexperienced at making rpm's please be careful out there when using these rpm's. In particular the dependencies may need some work. If you find any problem with these RH 7.1 rpm's, please let Abed <abe...@ya...> know about it since he is taking full responsibilty for these rpm's. I have consulted with Abed in the creation of these rpm's, but I can only help with questions about these rpm's in a general way because I have no access to RH 7.1 (yet). I will continue to take full responsibility for the RH 6.2 rpm's. Alan W. Irwin email: ir...@be... phone: 250-727-2902 FAX: 250-721-7715 snail-mail: Dr. Alan W.
